I add my voice to the dirge

Dr. D could not have been gentler or more tactful. The dog lost consciousness with his head cradled in my wife's lap, and five minutes after that an injection stopped his noble heart. Typing this, I tear up at the memory. Remember too, though, that it's a kindness we do them. I hope it's become feasible for me to expect a like courtesy when my time comes. cordially,

It was hard enough to do as it was. Finally I point blank told him the dog had suffered enough, he was already blind just about deaf and afraid to walk around. I did what was best for the little guy, this fucker was one of the heroic measures types.

Pets have the legal option to die comfortably; humans are frequently pinned writhing to life until they expire in pain. Give it a decent interval (decent for you, I mean) and then go out and rescue another goddamn dog and give the creature years of the love and care it deserves, please. doggedly,
